Chapter 427 The mantis stalks the cicada

Although Modi was dissatisfied with Gandhi's order, he still accepted it.

An hour later, Modi led the Western Tianzhu cavalry to attack the Han army again.

However, this attack was no different from the previous one. Modi's cavalry hit their heads and was bleeding in front of the Han army who was waiting for them.

Not only did the coalition cavalry fail to achieve their goal, but they lost hundreds of soldiers.

After Modi became a post-war statistic, his heart began to bleed.

Looking at the retreating coalition cavalry, Zhang Huan asked Zhang Zhan: "Do you want the captain to send troops to pursue them?"

Zhang Zhan shook his head and said: "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so there is no need to take risks... We will wait until King Wu Lei arrives..."

At noon, King Wu Lei finally arrived at the camp with more than two thousand soldiers.

After the two armies joined forces, Zhang Zhan successfully obtained command of the army after discussing with King Wu Lei.

When the two armies joined forces, Zhang Zhan had nearly 6,000 troops.

After some thought, Zhang Zhan decided to launch a tentative attack on Wulei City.

Later, Zhang Zhan personally led his troops out of the stronghold and approached three miles north of Wulei Kingdom.

On Wulei City, a group of officers from the Western Tianzhu Allied Forces looked at the orderly battle formation of the Han army below the city with awe.

The Han army was an enemy they had never really faced before.

Whether it is equipment or training, they are much more powerful than previous enemies.

"The elite Han army is truly worthy of its reputation..."

The speaker was Prince Gandhi, the commander of the city guard.

Gandhi looked at the Han army below the city and said: "Everyone says that the Han army is the best in the world. Today I want to dampen your spirit and show you that I, Ji Bin, also have brave men!"

At this time, Modi, who had failed to attack the camp twice, flattered him and said:

"General, don't worry. There is enough food and grass in the city, the walls are high and the trenches are deep, and the armaments are complete. Our coalition forces have tens of thousands of troops, and they are the two incoming Han armies...

"Our army is waiting for work, and there are more than 10,000 reinforcements outside that are about to arrive. As long as we hold on and fight to the death, I don't believe that the Han army can get wings and fly up!"

"All the officers and men in the army swore to follow the general and fight the Han army to the end..."

Although Modi talks nice, he doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

The two failed attacks on the camp had already made him understand how powerful the Han army was as he had imagined.

But he knew that the young and energetic Prince Gandhi could not listen to words praising the Han army.

Young people are not afraid of tigers when they are newborn calves, so their courage is commendable, but this is a good thing and a bad thing.

However, the confidence and courage of young people cannot be suppressed, especially at this critical moment.

Modi observed Gandhi's expression while speaking, and he keenly discovered that Gandhi was nervous at this time.

In order to make the general relax, Modi decisively changed the subject.

"General, how did you sleep last night? Princess Wu Lei is a beauty... A fragrant bed is much better than a cold city wall..."

Before Modi finished speaking, there was a roar of rude laughter all around.

Gandhi couldn't help but recall his beautiful body last night.

He grasped the saber at his waist tightly, and he must personally chop off the head of the King without Thunder tomorrow.

It must be very interesting to admire the head of King Wu Lei and play with Princess Wu Lei at the same time.

"Beautiful Princess Leia... what will her expression be like when she sees her father's head?"

Thinking of these, Gandhi actually had the urge to go to war with the Han army immediately.

Surrounded by the generals, Gandhi walked down the arrow tower and continued to inspect the city defenses.

"We must hold on there resolutely. The terrain there is dangerous and it is the commanding height to control the main city..."

Gandhi pointed to an arrow tower not far away and gave instructions to everyone.

"Simba"

"Here you are!" A big, muscular man responded with his hands raised.

"This section of the city wall and this arrow tower will be left to you!"

"General, as long as I, Simba, am here, this archery tower will never be lost! There are 800 bloodthirsty warriors under my command, just waiting for Han to come and die!"

Simba's fierce eyes flashed in the darkness, like a vicious wolf.

Modi looked at Simba and flattened his mouth in disdain. This Simba was famous for his cruelty in the Jibin Kingdom. It was said that he drank a bowl of human blood every day and sometimes even ate human flesh raw.

The 800 desperadoes he led were all ferocious beasts. They never took prisoners and only took pleasure in killing people and torturing them.

Their ferocity and cruelty not only made them enemies, but also the soldiers of the Gubin Kingdom both hated and feared them.

It was Simba and his desperadoes who killed the Han envoys before.

Gandhi naturally knew that people did not like Simba, but in Gandhi's opinion, the army needed such a bloodthirsty murderer, so he had always turned a blind eye to his misdeeds.

"General Modi!" Hearing Gandhi's voice, Modi quickly interrupted his thoughts and bowed, "Here he is!"

"You lead the light cavalry of our headquarters and are ready to attack at any time. There must be no mistake!"

"As you command!"

"Last year, the Kushan people invaded Jibin, and it was only General Modi who was able to defeat the invading Kushan people. In this battle, I hope that the general will continue his efforts and help me defeat the Han army."

After hearing this, Modi quickly said:

"General, rest assured that this decision will not disappoint you again..."

Gandhi nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the people around him:

"I want to see the difference between these Han people and the military horses of the Western Regions!"

At this time, Kaza, the coalition logistics director, reminded:

"The Han army is different from the Kushan people. The general must not take it lightly...then the whole army and the whole city will be destroyed..."

When Gandhi heard this, he stared at Kaza dissatisfied.

But after all, Kaza was his uncle and it was hard for him to say anything.

Therefore, he turned his target to Modi: "General Modi...if you lose again next time, don't blame me for being rude to you..."

After hearing this, Modi broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly said, "My subordinates, please remember this!"

He noticed that Simba, who looked arrogant, actually rolled his eyes and squinted, obviously not paying attention to him, the deputy commander of the coalition forces.

Modi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart...but there was nothing he could do about it. Who said he had impure blood?

"General! General!"

At this moment, a scout ran over from the south of the city. He ran up to the top of the city in three steps and two steps at a time. The exhausted war horse was pulled aside while foaming at the mouth.

"News from General Amir has arrived!"

The scout spoke and handed a parchment in his hand.

Gandhi slowly unfolded the parchment, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled.

"General Amir's troops have arrived at the rear of the Han army and are preparing to attack the Han army's transport convoy.

Everyone was stunned and then overjoyed. Annihilating the Han army's baggage train would not only damage the opponent's morale, but also put the Han army into a dilemma of lack of food and ammunition.

It can be said that the Han army, which lost its logistics, was defeated first.

Modi suddenly realized that the real purpose of his two attacks yesterday and today was not to test the strength of the Han army, but to attract the attention of the Han army and provide cover for Amir to lead his army in stealth.

It seems that this Gandhi is not completely useless, but he is still a bit real.
